We are moving away from a traditional model of public service based on hierarchical, directive management. We are leaving behind a public service where jobs were based primarily on repetitive, well-defined tasks and predictable activities and where vertical, top-down communications approaches were the norm. We have begun the transformation to a modern, people-centered Public Service of Canada, one which is more flexible and responsive, adaptive and innovative.

CONT

Nous avons rompu avec le modèle traditionnel de la gestion dans la fonction publique, basée sur la hiérarchie et l'exécution des ordres. Nous n'en sommes plus à l'époque où les emplois étaient essentiellement répétitifs et les communications unidirectionnelles, « de haut en bas ». Nous avons commencé à faire de la fonction publique du Canada une institution moderne, axée sur l'élément humain, plus souple, plus ouverte et plus créatrice.
